Anna Rose

Massachusetts-born Anna Rose has lived in Florence, Italy, since 2004. Her work spans video, photography, costume, and installation with a sensibility towards the relationship between body and environment. In creating State of Play, Rose says she was inspired by things we see and use daily — “the things we touch, eat, play with, buy, collect, throw away. I often think about familiar everyday objects and actions, and look for ways to explore the cultural weight they might carry.”
